John O'Day. who waged a vigorous war upon them, and was fully sustained by the convention, de- feating the nomination of the railroad candi- dates, Burgess for judge of the supreme court and Dick Love for railroad com- sioner. and over the combined opposition of the railroads, except the Wabash, nominating James B. Gantt for judge of the supreme court, and H. W. Hickman, president of the Farmers’ Alliance, for railroad commissioner.

From Wall Street Today. New Yorx, June 16.—The legitimate busi- ness done in the stock market this morning was extremely limited, and inquiry reveals the fact that there are no large orders in the market either to buy or sell. The only animation in the market was supplied by the operations of the bears, and those were only in one stock sugar refineries. In order to give an appearance of weakness to the stock stop orders were placed in the market, and then the stock was raided down to reach the orders.

AWAITING THE RETURNS, Not Many Reports Yet Received From the Census Supervisors. ‘There are but comparatively few returns of the census enumerators yet received at the Census Office. The returns of a few districts in New York, Philade!phia and Pitts- burg and this city have been received, Today a box containing the filled out schedules arrived from Shrevesport, La, Another batch was sent in by Mr. Dingman, the supervisor of the District, and by this evening there will probably be the returns from 100 out of the 138 districts in this District in the hands of the cen- sus computers, While the work of taking the census is practically closed, it will be several before ali the days yet returns arc ready “ to be — sent to the census ofice. In some of the cities there will be scattering returns which will come draggin along fora week or ten days, but the main point will be to get the bulk of the work done within the time specitied so as to leave a margin for contingencies, Superintendent Porter suid today that as far as he could judge from reports received everything was going along smoothly aud he expected to receive the returns promptly. Wardic, the assistant chief clerk, is now in New York, where he will give such assist- ance ax will tend to hasten the gathering in of the returns from that city.

TESTIMONY TAKEN IN COURT TODAY OX THE Mo- TION TO ADMIT TO BAIL—EXPERTS THINK HE 18 IN DANGER OF BECOMING INSANE—HIS PHYSI- CAL CONDITION INVESTIGATED, : The regular hal os of the Criminal Court— those who delight to loaf in the temple of jus- tice—were in their accustomed places when Chief Justice Bingham took his seat this morn- ing and the crier declared the court in session, Foremost among the partics immediately interested in the trial of Frauk K. Ward for the killing of Maurice Adler was Mrs. Ward. She entered the room shortly before 10 o'clock accompanied by her sister and her son. A few minutes later came Counsel Jere M. Wilson, Senator Black- burn, W. K. Duhamel and Chapin Brown, and with them was Ward himself. There was a marked change in Ward’s appearance, His hair, which was long and unkempt last week, had been neatly trimmed and brushed. The stubbly beard had been removed and the al- most slovenly garments had been succeeded by a close-fitting suit of dark gray cloth. It was the Frank K. Ward of a year ago, looking, if anything, something better than he did at that time. ‘The case came up today on the motion of Ward's counsel for a continuance and to ad- mit to bail, ‘There was a brief delay, exensed by the court, and when Mr. Coleman of counsel for the defense arrived Senator Blackburn arose and asked whether the defense was to begin with the examination de novo or not. DR, KEMPSTER ON THE STAND, District Attorney Hogo insisted that it should, and then Dr, Walter Kempster was sworn, Mr. Coleman examined him. Dr. Kempster testified that for twenty years ho had paid especial attention to the treatment of mental and nervous disorders in public insti- tutions in New York and Wisconsin, He was an expert witness for the government in the Guiteau case, He knew Frank K. Ward. He first saw him yesterday afternoon and visited him for the purpose of making an examina- tion of his mental and physical condition, He was with Ward for two hours and a haif, There was evidence, he said, of disease of the kidneys in an advanced state. The examination yesterday was very thorough, first with refer- ence to the condition of his bra’ He found that Ward was confused in his ideas and let the course of the conversation drift away. Ward talked for about an hourand in that time indicated great mental weaknes; he also. wrote a three-page letter. Ward's mental processes. were —very_—slow, very obtuse. The mental exertion was pain- ful to witness. The lutter part of the epistle was thought out and written letter by letter. The physical examination showed great physi- cal debility and extreme nervousness, When the examination was concluded Ward was al- most exhausted. Witness did not think Ward insane, but he was satistied that if the present conditions continued he would soon be so, Witness coald not say, from one single exam- ination, what the extent of the kidney trouble was, but he believed it was at the commence- ment of the second stage. In order that Ward might recover he should haveabsolute rest and be relieved of ali trouble or anxiety, He should even be removed from his home. If Ward should continue in confinement he would undoubtedly become insane—ineurably so, His physical condition was not such that he could stand either confinement or immediate trial. While he looked fairly well, his health was poor; he was “flabby. Upon being pressed for more explicit testi- mony as to the consequences of a continuation of the present conditions, Dr. Kempster said Ward's condition was alarming. There were clearly visible incipient symptoms of general aralysis, and this would come unless there was Jidictous treatment. Witness would not state that Ward would recover even if he was imme- diately released; he was dubious as to that, CROSS-EXAMINED BY MR, LIPSCOMB, Assistant District Attorney Lipscomb cross- examined the witness, who said he was re- quested on Saturday by Mr, Coleman to visit the jail and examine Frank Ward, Mr. Cole- man went to the jail with wituess aud made the introduction to Ward. Ward thoroughly understood the object of the visit, for it was stated b; Witness then went on to detail’ the conversa- tion he had with Ward. He said that Ward's recollection of the crime with which he was charged and with events just previous was confused. Counsel then indulged in alittle argument, the defense claiming that the government was acting improperly in asking witness wha‘ Ward did not say. Mr. Lipscomb held that Ward had told Dr. Kempster only such things as would be favorable to his case and would be calculated to deceive the doctor. DISSATISFIED WITH THE CONDUCT OF M8 CASE. Continuing his testimony, under ecross- examination, Dr. Kempster said that Ward was very indefinite in his story of the crime, Ward told witness that he had prepared a document to aid in his defense, but counsel did not see to valine it much. Ward = said he dissatisticd with the conduct of his ca: He talked with witness of his milk business an then, without any line of demarcation, he wan- dered off into his early history and in just as sudden a manner talked of the prisoners and the cells around him, A wordy duel then took place between Mr, Lipscomb and the witness as to the Jatter’s tes- timony on the subject of Ward’s coherency. Dr. Kempster said that there was an incoher- ence as to sentences. ‘The composition of cach sentence was all right, but the senten: themselves would not connect, The doctor could not be “rattled,” however, 80 he went on to testify as to the conversation itself, Ward said to him that “the Israclites had encom- passed him" (used those precise words.) ‘Chey had used their influence, Ward said, on the court and on his own counsel, NOT AN INSANE DELIRIUM. Witness did not regard that as an insano de- lusion; it was a sane suspicions idea, Witness saw no evidence of any hailucination, no insane delusion, Ward told witness that he had at one time done a great deal of carousing, had indulged in much debauchery, Since his. con- finement he had taken no liquor save as ordered by the physician, The dose was three table- spoonfuls twice a day. The cause of Ward's condition was poor nourishment of the brain and the condition was aggravated by the indictmentand the con- finement. If he were confined in an insane asylum bis condition would not improve, Ward's recovery under any circumstances would be merely a matter of conjecture. Ho may beeome insano anyhow, Dr. Alex. McWilliams, physician atthe Dis. trict jail, testified to the correctness of the analysiz, on which was based Dr. Kempster’s statement as to Ward's kidney trouble, DR, LEACH’S TESTIMONY, The next witness was Dr, Hamilton E, Leach. He had examined Ward more than once, On the occasion of his last visit, which he believed was June 10,he went in company with Dr, Baldwin, Ward, whose pulse beat 120 then, seemed to be of the opinion that his counsel was negligent, was endeavoring to damage his case. Ward's con- dition, from eariy in March until the exami- nation last week, was gradually deteriorating, Ward assured witness that the Hebrews of this city, his counsel and even his own family had combined against him, On cross-cxamimation by Mr. Lipseamb wit- ness said he knew Ward quite well; had known him all his life, Ward's condition was appar- ently good when he was arraigned; there was no appearance of insanity then. As things were now Ward was clearly unable to testify in his own behali. In his conversations with wit- ness Ward never referred to the erime with h he is charged; he never mentioned the name Of Khe man whom he killed. DK, GALDWIN ON THE STAND, Dr, Willian O. Baldwin, in response to Sena- tor Blackburn's questions, testified that he had visited Ward twice—April 30 and June 10, Witness found the symptoms of physical and meutal disorder much increased ou the oc- cusion of his last visit, Ward could not testify intelligently in his own behalf if he were tried at this tune, Longer confinement in jail would inevitably result in insanity or in the develop- ment of the Bright'y disease from which he suffered, DR. ROSS# SAYS WARD 18 A WREeR. Cross examination was not prolific of resulta, so Dr, Irving C. Rosse of this city was pat on the stand. The doctor told tho court that he was ® specialist in mental and nervous Mr. Coleman, diseases. He had visited Ward several times and = found = hin romeenively worse, Confinement, xiety and loss of sleep seemed to be responsible for Ward's present wreeked condition. Ward was physically not strong enough to stand longer confinement nor could he testify in his own behalf if he were Wied at this nea Lonser eaieen send result disastro} , ment an ly, Ward, He did uot think Ward on be “pier see District Attorney took up the cross- examination and was informed by the wypew that on each succeeding visit to Ward he found the symptoms exaggerated. With Proper by; surroundings Ward's physical condition could be improved. but could not say as much as to his mental condi- tion, The disense of the kidneys wns quite a common one. DR, STANTON'S OPINION. Dr. J. O. Stanton testified that he had at- tended Mr, Ward on three or four occasions; that he had made a report in February as to Ward, He had examined him three times since, the last time being yesterday; there had been a decided change since May 7. The strain of a prolonged trial might result very seriously; did not think Ward could testify intelligently in his own behalf. Longer confinement would be very dangerous to him mentaily and physi- cally. "If given his liberty his health might be improved, but he did not think that he would ever be a well man. On cross.examination witness said the con- finement in jail would aggravate his condition; there was nothing in the jail that he knew of which would affect him other than the fact that itwas a jail With the symptoms he would regard him asa sick man outside, but it free he would improve physically. On redirect examination witness said on the first visit he prescribed for his nervousness. A recess was here taken. DR. GODDING’S VIEWS. After the receas Dr. W. W. Godding, super- intendent of St. Elizabeth Hospital for the in- sane, testified that he made an examination of Mr. Ward on January 28 and he had beard the testimony during the morning. His opinion was that Ward's mental condition as well ax his ey condition had become more impaired. He did not think he could be of much serv- ice to his counsel, and, if confinement is continued, he would deteriorate and mentaily and physically go into dementia and death. Arelease from confinement would not prob- ably result in his restoration to health, but he would improve. His judgment was that the use of liquor to excess was the base of his mental impairment and that his troubles, &c., have accelerated the disease. There was in his countenance a cer- tain loss of facial expression, an ironed-ont look, which indicated the progress of the dis- ease, He would not say that the defendant was insane, but what he said of the Hebrews, his counsel and family indicate delusions. He would advise rest, change of scenery and the removal of stimulants from him. Mr. Blackburn said, presenting the aftidavits of Messrs. Strong, Graham and others of the jail. that they would rest the case. They were present and could be cross-examined if desired. Judge Hoge said that he was content that the affidavits should go in, THE GOVERNMENT'S SIDE. The government called Dr. McWilliams, the jail physician, who said that he could not tes- tify as to Ward’s mental condition, but physi- cally he was broken up. He thought he had lost —s but ——iittle ~— flesh since his confinement.

The complainants were postal clerks, who were injured in the collision at Four-Mile Run, February 19, 1885, when a Virginia Midland passenger train and a freight train came together and several persons were killed. Suit was brought against the Pennsylvania, the Baltimore and Potomac, the Alexandria and Washington, the Alexandria ard Fredericksburg and Virginia Midland rail- road companies, and verdicts were found in favor of the last-named road and for the plaintiffs against the other roads for $15,000 and 210,000 respectively. The court said that, briefly, the evidence showed that the two tracks interlace and there was an arrangement of automatic signals, but for some cause they did not work, The engineer of the Midland train saw the freight train, and, sup- posing it to be stationary, put on all speed to make the double track, but failed and the trains came together.

Under the existing law | before a water main can be laid a petition signed by the majority of the property owners along whose streets the main is to run is neces- sary. the whole cost of mains six inches or loss being assessed against the property. In many cases the main is desirable, but cannot be laid because a majority of the property owners ob- ject.

Several days ago an application was made to the Commissioners for # tax decd, the applicant understanding that he must pay the taxes im arrears prior to the years’ taxes for which the property was sold to him because of the note of the collector of taxes on the certificate of sale, to the effect that such certificate was isaned subject to the payment of alt ar- rears of taxes before the issue of deed. He objected to making said payment and the | matter was referred to the attorn who gave an opinion that the note of the collector of | taxes a8 to prior arrears of taxes was of no ef- fect for the reason that t! authority of law for placing suc the certificate. He held that the principle in the Pilling case applied to this class of cases the same as if no such condition was upon the | certificate, namely, that the issue of a tax cer- tificate clears the property of all taxes due prior thereto.
